The rest are all staying, Dervan and Rainone included.

Assume RPB haven't signed anyone else as they are usually quite vocal on social media etc about these things. Or could just be keeping them quiet at the moment.
Some good gets for Willy there, Dale McDonald will be great as CC. Seems as though you guys have a good relationship with Greenvale, always good to have with a Premier club (Altona & FECC have a similar situation). Twentyman and Castle will be good in the top order. Not sure about Cook (thought he bowled more but looking at stats only took 2 wickets last season) and O'Malley but anyone with Premier experience is great. Anyone besides Sheedy, Hodges and Inness leaving/retiring? Surprised if one of Dervan and Rainone haven't taken the next step to Premier yet. Don't have to share if you don't see the need!
Won't work talent pool too thin.Massive outs for Greenvale, not trying to go off topic but I find it staggering that Premier wants to go to 20 teams and you have Kingston Hawthorn without a coach, Greenvale no captain and half the 1st XI gone, and Casey no captain, no coach and a big chunk of the First XI gone. The big clubs are doing well but the smaller ones are getting picked off. And we want to increase teams?
There's probably enough talent out there but it's playing 80 over days, minimal if any Sundays, less training and often getting paid for their trouble!Won't work talent pool too thin.

I have said numerous times on here that exact point, they should be looking at reducing Premier Cricket rather than expanding it. Couldn't agree more with your sentiments.
Paul Amy thinks Barry Nievandt is likely Kingston Hawthorn coach. Fully agree with what you say. Do you also think the subbies clubs named as aspirants for promotion to Premier are also being destabilised?
Intersting that Ormond on the verge of another big signing, but couldn't keep Wight.Its interesting, 3 clubs into 2 dont go. Would have thought Plenty Valley were the frontrunners, but Johnstones defection to Werribee seemed to indicate they were a big chance, and then the article on Melton last week may also send the same message...
Ormond with another big signing?
Schlittler is the one being bandied around. Half of Prahan will be at Ormond at this rate!Who is it

Gee wizz they are going to be strong next year. South / West wow wee!
I can't help thinking about what Super Saint has recently gone through, and, that there would be players at the 3 aspiring clubs with similar thoughts for similar reasons. I don't see the fact the aspiring clubs would not be involved in a merger is relevant to the ''Super Saints'' at these clubs. They are probably quite entitled to say CV didn't consult with them on announcing their club was in the running for promotion to Premier and, if it had, would have said they saw no place for themselves in Premier. Such a shame if persons with long and loyal service would have to depart if they wish to continue in subbies. I suggest that, in effect, it would be a case of the club leaving them, rather than the reverse.
Interesting post, I assume you are connected to Kingston Saints in some shape. I do take offence at your post as I take this as a personal attack. It suggests I put myself above the club. You obviously don't know me if you believe this is the case.Th
This is the changing landscape of cricket Victoria. While it isn't great if blokes like Super would be "pushed out" there would most def still be position available for him to play cricket with the club if he desired. I would think that to hold back a chance which over 90% of the club wanted to go to premier because a 45+ bloke wanted one last hurrah would def put an individual above the club. Not sure about you but I've always been told the club is bigger than the individual.
